Estimating the intrinsic dissipation using the second‐harmonic temperature signal in the tension–tension fatigue

Researchers developed a thermomechanical model linking the second-harmonic temperature signal from infrared thermography to intrinsic dissipation during tension-tension fatigue of metals, extending the approach to account for non-sinusoidal command signals from digital closed-loop controllers. The model was validated against a well-established approach using stepwise fatigue tests on C45 normalized steel plain specimens.

A damage-based uniaxial fatigue life prediction method for metallic materials

Researchers developed a faster method for determining how long metal components will last under repeated stress by tracking tiny changes in material stiffness as damage accumulates, rather than running tests until failure. The method was validated across ten different metals including steel, aluminum, and titanium, consistently matching results from standard but much more time-consuming tests.
